Cancer Stem Cell Hierarchy in Glioblastoma Multiforme
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive tumor that typically exhibits treatment failure with high mortality rates, is associated with the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) within the tumor. CSCs possess the ability for perpetual self-renewal and proliferation, producing downstream progenitor cells that drive tumor growth. Studies of many cancer types have identified CSCs using specific ...
متن کاملThe Effects of NDRG2 Overexpression on Cell Proliferation and Invasiveness of SW48 Colorectal Cancer Cell Line
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in the world. The expression of N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is down-regulated in CRC. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of NDRG2 overexpression on cell proliferation and invasive potential of SW48 cells.Methods: SW48 cells were transfected with a plasmid overexpressing ND...
متن کاملRestoring hemidesmosomes to prevent cancer cell invasiveness
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a dismal survival rate. Patients are diagnosed at either a local invasive or metastatic stage, but will ultimately dye within five years after diagnosis. This dismal prognosis is first the result of a late diagnosis. Symptoms appear when the primary tumor has already spread out and specific diagnosis tools such as imaging techniques or biomarkers enab...
متن کاملCell, Tumor, and Stem Cell Biology EZH2 Is Essential for Glioblastoma Cancer Stem Cell Maintenance
Overexpression of the polycomb group protein enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) occurs in diverse malignancies, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Based on its ability to modulate transcription of key genes implicated in cell cycle control, DNA repair, and cell differentiation, EZH2 is believed to play a crucial role in tissue-specific stem cell maint...
متن کاملA2B5 cells from human glioblastoma have cancer stem cell properties.
Glioblastomas, like other cancers, harbor small cell populations with the capability of sustaining tumor formation. These cells are referred to as cancer stem cells. We isolated cells expressing the surface marker A2B5 from three human glioblastomas (GBM) and showed that after grafting into nude mice, they generated dense and highly infiltrative tumors. Then, we extensively studied A2B5(+) cell...
